Default Cheap Head!

What are my options for a set of heads for a 99 - 04 GT? Aftermarket & performance focused of course...

Any idea what kind of monetary setback a good set of heads will place me?

For a good set, you are looking at $2500.00-$3000.00. Check with GSXRintensity, he just got a set from Fox Lake Racing. I recommend either VT, Fox Lake or MPH.

Whaaaat? That was tech related!

2500! You gotta be kidding! That is expensive. What kind of gains? 30 + hp?

aren't all the aftermarket heads just machined stock heads for our 2v's?

Like redass02gt, everything I've seen advertised is remanufactured Ford 2V heads. Would it be cheaper to have a quality P&P/valve job done?

I think you can get stage 2 heads from fox lake for around 2,000 there suppose to be pretty good but any heads you buy are gonna be pretty high.
